About this map

Oil Spring Mountain and the high ridges of the Piceance Basin define this mid-century landscape on the border of Rio Blanco and Garfield Counties. The 1960s terrain is marked by the early infrastructure of resource extraction and telecommunications, featuring a Radio Facility and Dome in the southern portion of the quadrangle. A network of Jeep Trails and a Pipeline Road wind through deep drainages like West Canyon and Sawmill Canyon, illustrating how the region's energy-related development was beginning to overlay the older ranching and natural landscape.
